Éireann and I

Éireann and I is a community archive that chronicles stories around heritage, activism and art relating to Black life in Ireland. It was initiated and is led by Beulah Ezeugo and Joselle Ntumba. They are presenting the workshop Heritage Through Storytelling and Symbols. The session explores how identities evolve through social and cultural transformations.

Éireann and I invite participants to bring to SIRIUS an item from their personal archive, a memento or family photograph, to draw from throughout the session. Using these materials, they engage in various activities, including flag-making and recording oral histories, through which they design symbols that represent their own imagined place of origin.

This workshop is programmed in response to Alice Rekab’s exhibition Clann Miotlantach / Mythtlantics. It addresses its themes of familial and artistic connections, migration, and sense of place and belonging.
